Airlines oppose Tory tax proposal
« on: March 11, 2007, 07:29:06 PM »

Virgin said the taxes would damage the UK economy, and British Airways called them an "extremely blunt instrument" to tackle carbon emissions.

The proposals include levying VAT or fuel duty on domestic flights and a green air miles scheme.
